JAN 23, 1985

S concerning compensation paid to members of the Western Carolina Regional Sewer Authority Commission.  Are Commission members allowed to receive $35.00 per meeting, or are they limited to $35.00 per day? Should the Commission members not choose under Act 515 of 1980 either $25.00 per meeting, the practice in effect when Act 515 passed, or $35.00 per day? If Commission members may be paid per meeting (either $25.00 or $35.00), is it proper to schedule and be paid for each of several consecutive meetings which are held on the same day? If the present payment policy is improper, what should be done about overpayments that have been made to commissioners?

Requested by: The Honorable Thomas M. Marchant, III, Member, House of Representatives
